Found the Fork.
From tho Lancet.

FROM tno Lancet
DIR. William Wilson reports the
following interesting case;
"Cipriani, to whom you referred in
a recent number, while initiating the
exploits OF juggler in swallowing u
fork, some sixteen years ago, allowed
tito pass into his esophagus beyond
his control. After various attempts
at extraction, made by himself, his
friends and his wife, he was on the
following day transferred to the Ospe-
dale de Santa Maria Nuova, where al
80 all efforts at removal were una.
vailing. Several ingenious instru-
ments were invented for the purpose,
but failed. He remained in the hos
pital for five weeks, suffering more or
less venience, moral rs well as
physical, for the public were divided
IN opinion, some proclaiming him
only u fool, Others an impostor. A
year or so afterward, having produced
severe pain, hemorrhage and other
untoward symptoms, it was ascer
tanned that the fork had effected Its
exit from the stomach and passed in
to the lntestines, accompanied with u
relief to the more urgent phenomena
motion, however, occasioned severe
suffering. He now wandered from
place to place, o subject OF interest to
some OF ridicule to Others, till three
or four weeks ago he was attacked by
acute pleurisy OF the right side, ter
minating in eifusion, and was admit
ted into the Ospedale di San Giovanni
di bio. Recovering from this, atten-
ton was again directed to "the fork"
which was discovered in the right lilac
fossa, pointing obliquely upward to
the left side. 1t was evidently fixed
in this situation, for palpatation
effected no change in its position, and
considerable enlargement could be de-
tected in the immediate neighborhood.
After long hesitation he consented to
an operation, which was performed
by the distinguished surgeon, Professor
Rosati, aided by his skillful assistant,
DR.. Catani An incision was made
extending from an inch and a nalf
below the unbilcus perpendicularly
down to the pubes, and after considera-
BILE difficulty the fork was extricated
from the ascending colon, the blunt
end pointing upward. There had been
long and constant inflammation, as
was proved by the great thickening of
the bowel, adjacent tissues, andthe firm
adhesion OF the colon to the abdom-
inal particles The bowel was opened
the edges secured to the abdominal
integuments, and the wounds dressed
in the usual way. The fork measured
twenty-five centimeters and present
ed but little erosion; for, though the
plating had disappeared, the extremi-
ties retained their original defined
outlines. The time could not be cal.
culated which it had taken in reaching
it's ultimate destination, but proba-
bly, many years, judging from the con-
dition OF the surrounding textures.
The patient bore the operation well,
and was very anxious to secure pos
session OF the fork as conclusive evil
dence against his detractors. There
has been no fever or unfavorable
symptoms; and the wound is nearly
healed, there remaining only q small
fiistulous opening communicating With
the intestine"

The Boys and Tobacco.
SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 20, 1887.
Editor LIGHT:

Editor LIGHT:
The universal use Of tobacco among
boys is q habit which should receive a
hearty condemnation at the hands ofall.
That it is a mere habit there can be 10
doubt, and IL is only the desire to initi-
ate his superiors in everything vile and
low that prompts boy to indulge in the
use of tobacco When boy begins this
habit, he at once weakens his standard
of morality, and is more liable to commit
any evil deed. II an erring youth could
in some way be convinced of the griev-
Gus wrong he is inllicting upon himself,
he might perhaps reason his case. The
propensity of lounging about the streets
listening 10 all manner of conversation,
Ia one of the many sources to which the
increase of vice among boys is attribu-
table. Some parents pay little or no at
tention to the moral education of their
children. 1t Ia no uncommon sight to
see many youngster strutting about
under the parental roof with a cigarette
In his mouth. What Is the reeult? In
many instances u different, and perhaps,
more destructive habit follows, and then
comes the shame and ignominy of a
prison cell. When boy begins TO use
tobacco, he will resort TO any means TO
obtain il; with little hesitancy he
will venture to ransack his
parents pockets for any crumbs
which he might find therein.
When youthful smoker has exhausted
his fertile brain In devising some plan
by which he can obtain "somp'en to
smoke" he is by no means deprived of
his luxury, for the quality Of the weed is
a matter Of little consideration to him.
An old cigar stump, half consumed
cigarette, readily furnish the necessary
article, AMI he puffs away at ii with ap-
parently as much gusto as IL he were
smoking tobacco of the finest grade. As
for the still younger class of smokers,
all they require is scrap or two of
brown paper, a match or two, and few
strips OF cedar bark, having received
these he has only to get out Of mama's
sight TO begin operation. 1t is peculiarly
painful to see one in the tender years of
childhood -One whose views OF life is all
sunshine and roses, advancing step by
step into a career Of vice and crime.
How innocent and confiding is child
hood, and yet how quick their minds
can be torn from its innocent pleasures
and fastened upon some base object.
There can be no question that lack of
parental training is frequently the cause
OF youthful depravity. The old adage,
"train a child up in the right path and
when it grows older it will not depart
from it, can find no truer utteranoe
than in this subject. A reform in this
line is a necessity. Some means should
be employed to check the downward
course. How long the people of this
community will suffer- to see the young.
er element in their present condition is
a query. JAS. L. WALTON.

Another One of the Laux Boys Dies by
His Own Hands
Last night about 8 O'Clock August
LsuX, a man of about "a years of age,
son of Mr.. Laux who owns the River
side property, formerly known as Laux's
mills, came down town and was drink
ing liquor pretty freely. He was known
to great many people and when he ap-
peared on Main plaza, several of the
hackmen began talking TO him of his
family affairs. and were chatting him be-
cause his wife had not, as they say,
treated him right. The husband and
wife had separated here some time ago,
as they could not get along we'll together
and she had gone 10 the country to live
with her relatives. He charged her with
intidelity, but when she came in yester-
day he saw her and begged her to come
back to him. After a stormy meet.
ing August left home and came
down to the plaza as stated. As
the hackmen were talking to him he
turned away suddenly and walked to
DeVine's drug store on the corner and
purchased 10 grains or as doses of NOR
phine and left. At IL o'clock DR.. p. w.
Johns was called to the Riverside and
found that August had taken the entire
quantity of the morphine. The doctor
left to get the antidotes for morphine and
when he returned shortly after he found
deceased in stale of deep coma, from
which he could not be aroused. and he
died about O'Clock this morning. JUS
tce Barnes WAS summoned and organ
lied a cOroner's jury and began an in
quest. which will be continued at 5
O'Clock this afternoon.
Deceased was rather hard drinker,
was married, and had several children.
His parents are both old and almost in
firm. This ID his second trial to kill
himself. His two brothers, Jacob and
Emil, have both killed themselves in the
past few years by suicide, the latter
putting bullet through his brain in
Mrs. Byne's boarding house, on Market
street, about two years ago, because he
could not live without the smiles of q
variety actress.

Alderman Gallagher

The Public Opinion, the new Sunday
paper, speaks of Alderman j. n. Gal
lagher, as Ollows:
Among the announcements appearing
with our first list is that OF Mr.. j. n.
Gallagher for alderman at large. Mr..
Gallagher has been in the council some
thing over four years, having been twice
elected to the position by the people and
once by the cOunCilmen, to fill the va
cancy OcoasiOned by the death of Hon.
Joseph f. Dwyer. Mr. Gallagher is an
intelligent. level-headed man, and the
people well know that his qualifications
for the Office have been fully and most
rigidly tested, and that he has proven
himself capable, earnest, honest and
jealous supporter of the best interests of
this municipality. His brother council
men only speak of him as a gentleman
and friend, and faithful, capable, legis-
lator. His course has, probably, been
more independent than that of any other
member OF the board, and there are no
mistakes nor unwise legislation charged
to his record. Mr.. Gallagher will be
elected, will lead in the raoe-the just
recognition he has deserved from all
the people.

but the vote taken for mayor remains a
significant ard suggestive fact. 1t de-

press, hence the billiousness of the old
maid-Miss Nancy.
The Express does not appear to be
ready to "bridge over the bloody chasm"

bark at Copeland, who is serenely indif-
